We just attacked Syria

[JAFBF]

Not sure I buy this, but okay   .   .   .  

First part okay, second part - I dunno

[JAFBF]

Post strike updates / happenings.

Hopefully Israel is just doing damage assessment.

This is true.

I picked up some good info here before, seems to support the theme above.

I have been hearing this as well, though have no definitive answer (Mercenaries ?).

I never realized ISIS was actually in control of part of the Capital - what a mess.

We may be actually witnessing the final take out of ISIS in Syria right now - no one said we had to do the ground work.

I should have guessed you got your news from an "Anonymous" twitter account and a guy that says "I know what's really going on but I can't tell you"

Yeah, CNN and MSNBC had Clinton winning in a landslide, but you go back for more like a good sheep.

Just some wiseass typical woody lazy response.

I guess Trump finally decided the "pee tapes" would no longer constrain him when it comes to Putin's BS. Excellent!

THAT is how you legitimately SOLVE A PROBLEM, hopefully. THAT is how you help prevent a future WWIII. 

The Russians want a dominant influence/control presence by having permanent naval ports in the Mediterranean. Syria is their only choice.

That is also similar to russia wanting the ports and control near the Ukraine - so they went after Crimea. Iran wants to OWN most of the middle east. Right now, The Saudis are ready to have a good relationship with Israel, of all things, because they are afraid of Iran's intentions to own them, too, and the hostility from terrorism in Yemen. Iran gets to have their proxy armies on both the northern border of Israel, in syria, and on Israel's southern border, in gaza. Remember, Israel gave gaza back for "peace".

It was worth a try, but it didn't work, never will. Belligerent, dangerous russia wants to be back to a soviet union power situation.

I was hoping they would take out syria's air force, but that can be replaced rather quickly. Far more smarter and less confrontational, since the syrians got their planes etc moved to the russian bases, we took out several of their airports. The iranians and soviets can't use those anymore, either.

The soviets warned they would shoot all our missiles down. LOL So much for their super radar.... our allies' planes Nope, they all hit their targets, pukey putin. NOW russia is demanding an emergency meeting of the security council.

LOL - now we'll just veto whatever comes of that - they can take their 6/7 vetoes of previous resolutions about syria and shove em.

and Iran in syria? they want war with Israel in the worst way. BTW, taking out abbas just gives russia and iran ownership of syria.

Im with woody on this one - 

who else but OP would go out ahead of the story and conflate it 

to say that it (US, UK France mission) was a smokescreen (no pun) 

and allow the "true"  mission of Russia weeding and eliminating remaining ISIS cells???

Surprising EVEN more, is that woody called foul even though it is widely known that he doesnt like to read in the first place !

Actually that's just a knee-jerk reaction oh, he does that to any story published by anybody that isn't Jon Oliver or Saturday Night Live. As for not reading it I have no doubt he didn't. Was there any reference to anything of substance? Of course not. And that's actually too bad. There's probably a lot going on here.

Keep doubting and tuning into the Fake news.

I feel just as trapped in not believing the major news sources  

like I used to think republican politicians had my best interests in mind

fake news is on both sides now...

You've always seem like a reasonable guy to me and I mean no disrespect but if you think that either political party honestly has your best interest as their Prime motivator you're a fool. 

As a matter of fact even though I don't consider myself a practicing Christian per se I would imagine that they along with some other religious leaders are among the only people who might actually care about others well being. And I believe that is the problem with the society. Not the idea that somebody makes minimum wage but the idea that so people are completely miserable and spend so much of their time angry about somebody else having more. 

Just think with the proper spiritual Outlook why should anyone be miserable as long as you have friends shelter and food?

Etc

you are definetly right about this-

it also was mostly about the debate over the last 8 years too 

but I still have a wish that our current POTUS will rise to and even eclipse the  work that Ronald Reagan had accomplished

in the worse environment a president can have -opposition from the establishment

Woody, if you caught the one stating they were getting info from Anons on the ground that should tell where this is coming from.

A lot of these people actually live in the area/region this took place, so I'd say they have a lot better understanding of what's going on than we do.

It's called "crowd sourced" or "open sourced" reporting.

This may well be the future of News reporting, we sure as hell can't trust the MSM these days.

Folks don't like the format or the flow ?

I was dropping this live as it was going on and coming in - ton of info to process in a short time.

Looks like it gives a damn accurate flow of events to me.

100% accurate ?

Probably not -  War is deception and the even the best of plans go astray.
